## Story

**Publix**’s South Florida shopping spree continues.

The Lakeland, Fla.-based grocery store chain paid $24 million for one of the shopping centers it anchors near Boynton Beach, Fla. — nearly double the property’s price just two years ago, records show.

Called **Aberdeen Square**, the 71,191-square-foot, open-air retail center sits adjacent to the South Military Trail at **4966 Le Chalet Boulevard**. Publix’s grocery store spans 46,031 square feet. Other tenants include **China Hut**, **Natuurik Vegan**, **Androcles Veterinary Center** and **Edward Jones**.

The Boston-based seller, **Longpoint Partners**, purchased the 7.9-acre asset for $12.4 million in 2022, according to property records. The mall was built in 1990. *The Business Journals* first reported the deal.

Since 2023, Publix has spent more than $400 million buying out its landlords.

Just in May, it bought another, open-air retail center near Boynton Beach for $78 million. Besides Publix, which operates a 56,633-square-foot store, the tenants of the 21-acre property include **LA Fitness**, **Duffy’s Sports Grill** and **MD Now Urgent Care**.

Some of Publix’s biggest deals include the $83 million acquisition of the 137,780-square-foot **Polo Club Shops** in Boca Raton and the $72 million purchase of 207,470-square-foot **Hammocks Town Center** in Kendall. Both transactions closed last year.
